5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for

future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded)

power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Work area

▪ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

▪ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

▪ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the

rating plate.

▪ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

▪ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

▪ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

▪ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

▪ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

▪ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

POWX093 EN

5.3 Personal safety

▪ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

▪ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require

will reduce personal injuries.

▪ Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

▪ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

▪ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

▪ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

▪ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related

hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

▪ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

▪ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

▪ Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

▪ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

▪ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have

the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

▪ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

▪ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

5.5 Service

▪ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6 SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

▪ Ensure that the power lead does not come into contact with the milling cutter.

▪ Ensure that the lifting rods are firmly seated on the housing and cannot work loose while

working.

▪ Pull out plug before inserting milling cutter.

POWX093 EN

▪ Ensure that milling cutter is firmly clamped.

▪ Use only milling cutters for routers; never use e.g. milling cutters for drilling machines or

stationary machines.

▪ Use only commercially available milling cutters for routers with a shank diameter 6 mm or

8 mm.

▪ Always use both hands to guide the tool.

▪ Never wedge the ON switch fast.

▪ Never reach into the milling zone while the tool is running.

▪ Feed only running milling cutters to the material.

▪ Note direction of cut - always move the cutter against the material.

▪ When work is finished, remove the milling cutter from the tool.

▪ Wood dust set up during work is harmful to health. Always work with dust collector

operating.

▪ Wear protective goggles, ear protectors and, if necessary, breathing mask.

▪ Observe general safety regulations for handling and using electric tools..

7 OPERATION

7.1 Depth Stop (Fig. 1 & 2)

7.5 Inserting and removing the chuck and cutting heads n (Fig. 10, 11 & 12)

The cutting machine is supplied with a set of 12 mm cutting heads. There are a number of

heads for cutting various profiles in wood. One example is a decorative edge on a skirting

board. The machine is supplied with two chucks for 8 mm and 12 mm. Numerous cutting

heads are available for different profiles.

Some heads are too large and leave no space for the dust-extraction system. In this casep a

mask should be worn. CAUTION: Ensure that the machine is not connected to the power

supply. To insert the chuck, locate the spindle lock at the front of the machine. Press it down

and hold it in this position. Using the wrench provided, loosen the chuck nut by turning in an

anticlockwise direction (10). Remove the chuck and clean the spindle (11). Insert the other

chuck in the spindle and screw on the nut finger tight. To insert a cutter head, loosen the

chuck nut and insert the shaft of the cutter head (12). Ensure thai at least 20 mm or halt the

length of the cutter-head shaft is inserted into the chuck. If insertion depth is less, the cutter

head will be instable and may work loose. Press the spindle lock, hold it in position, and

tighten the chuck nut. Repeatedly check the tightness of the nut during your work.

CAUTION: Handle the cutter heads carefully. They are sharp and may cause cuts.

CAUTION: Before switching the machine on, ensure that the chuck nuts are tight

7.6 Cutter guide sleeve (Fig. 13, 14 & 15)

The cutter guide sleeve is attached to the base of the machine and ensures that the machine

can follow a certain cutting profile. Only certain sizes of cutter head can be used. The si2e is

limited by the size of the hole in the cutter guide sleeve.

The dust-extraction system can be used with this accessory. To install the guide plate, lay the

cutting machine on its side. Loosen and remove the two bolts for the dust-extraction system.

Remove the four cross-head screws attaching the plastic base to the casting (13). Note the

recess in the plastic base. Hold the guide plate with the sleeve to the outside and place it in

the recess (14). Align the holes in the plastic base with the threaded holes in the casting and

tighten the four cross-head screws (15). Re-install the dust-extraction components and secure

it with bolts and nuts.

7.7 Profile accessories (Fig. 16, 17 & 18)

The accessories can be used for work on profiled workpieces such as the head of a bed and if

you wish to repeat the outside profile further towards the inside. Take the parallel guide.

Loosen and remove the four cros>head screws attaching the plastic guides (16). Remove the

plastic guides and keep them in a safe place for further use. Locate the profile accessories

and position this casting (17). Secure it with two cross-head screws. Push the parallel guide

into the machine base. Select the right cutter head for this job. Position the workpiece carefully

and begin cutting (18).

7.8 Circle cutting accessories (Fig. 19)

Accessories for cutting

circles are also supplied. These allow you to cut perfect circles in workpieces. Attach one of

the parallel guide rods in the machine base (19). Mount the circle-cutting accessory at the

other end. You can attach this accessory to any position on the guide rod. Position the tip of

the circle-cutting accessory at the centre of your circle. Press it slightly so that the tip is firmly

in the wood. You can now cut the circle.

7.9 Setting the working depth (Fig. 20 & 21)

To set the cutting depth, release the plunger locking lever and press the cutter downwards

until the desired depth is reached. Then re-lock the lever (Locking lever for cutting machine

body). To set the cutter to a fixed depth, set the depth stop (20) and secure it with the knob

(21).

POWX093 EN

7.10 Fine adjustment (Fig. 22)

When the approximate depth is set, you can make fine adjustments by means of the fine-

adjustment knob {22). To adjust, turn it in clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

7.11 Cutting in serval operations (Fig. 23)

For cutting in depth and in stages, use the length-stop turret as an aid. Using the depth scale,

set the desired depth to the lowest depth-stop position on the turret. Rotate the turret so that

the highest point is under the depth stop and execute the first cut (23). Repeat the cut with the

second-highest

setting and finally with the last setting. You can also use two positions if the desired depth is

reached in two operations..

7.12 Switching on and off (Fig. 24)

Grasp the machine securely at the handles. When it is pointing in your direction, the start-stop

button is located on the right handle (24}. Keeping the safety lock pressed, press the start-stop

button. You do not have to keep the safety lock pressed as it remains in position automatically

until you release the start-stop button again. To stop the machine, simply release the start-

stop button and the motor stops..

7.13 Adjustable speed (Fig. 25)

The speed setting is located at the front of th e h o usi ng (25). Turn the knob to increase or

decrease the speed. The smaller the cutter head, the higher the speed.The larger the cutter

head, the lower the speed. A cutter head which runs too fast causes scorching of the

workpiece and leaves burnt marks. CAUTION: Do not change the speed when the machine is

working under load.

7.14 Using the parallel guide (Fig. 26)

The parallel guide can be used for cutting parallel to the edge of the workpiece. Release the

four screws securing the parallel guide and push them in so that the guide is at the desired

distance from the cutter head. Tighten the four securing screws. Press the guide securely

against the edge of the workpiece and execute the cut.

CAUTION: Abnormal vibrations may be due to a blunt cutter head.

7.15 Cutting direction (Fig. 27)

To prevent the cutter head from jumping and to obtain a good result, carry out exterior cuts in

anticlockwise and interior cuts in clockwise direction (27).
